Summary: An O ‐hexyl‐3,5‐bis(terpyridine)phenol ligand has been synthesized and transformed into a hexagonal Zn(II)‐metallomacrocycle by a facile self‐assembly procedure capitalizing on terpyridine‐Zn(II)‐terpyridine connectivity. The structural composition was confirmed by NMR and mass spectral techniques; photo‐ and electroluminescence properties were also investigated. The OLED device shows green electroluminescent emission at 515 nm with a maximum luminance of 39 cd · m −2 and maximum efficiency of 0.16 cd · A −1 .Structure and electroluminescent properties of the metallomacrocycle investigated.
